Jiang Xueli and He Qing watched the class monitor wave her arms to erase the chalk marks from the blackboard.
When their eyes met again, they both realized something and actually burst into laughter.
They could both tell that even though neither of them was usually straightforward in how they spoke or acted, neither was willing to take a single step back in this particular matter. Since that was the case, the only way forward was to compete and see who would claim the ultimate victory.
This time, it was Xiao Heqing who spoke first. "Jiang Xueli, let's clean the blackboard first."
The other girl nodded. "Okay."
Taking two fresh erasers, they each took a side and started wiping away the chalk, sending clouds of white dust flying into the air. Their pace went from slow to frantic. Xiao Heqing pursed her lips, her eyes filled with a rare determination. Jiang Xueli bit her lip, her twin tails swinging back and forth with her wiping motions.
